Join us in Mexico!

Global Affairs Canada is pleased to invite eligible Canadian institutions to participate in the next edition of the EduCanada Fairs in Mexico.

These fairs are designed to allow Canadian representatives to reach out to potential students and parents, as well as educational agents and institutional representatives throughout the region.

FPP EDU Media is responsible for the organization and all logistics for the EduCanada Fairs. The Canadian Embassy in Mexico will be providing institutions with free customized services and will be organizing networking events, school visits and business-to-business meetings.

These Fairs have been organized to assist Canadian institutions in their promotion efforts by:

Building awareness about education in Canada

Attracting a high calibre of students to the events through targeted promotion

Facilitating linkages with educational institutions and reputable agents in the countries visited

Important Information for Canadian Education Institutions on the EduCanada Brand

The EduCanada brand supports the international education offer of Canadian provinces and territories. It is the result of collaboration between the provinces and territories through the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC) and Global Affairs Canada.

The EduCanada brand signals that its holder consistently provides high quality education programs, deals with international students in accordance with recognized codes of practice and is subject to quality assurance mechanisms that monitor adherence to set standards.

Further to the Brand Use Eligibility Policy jointly established by Global Affairs Canada and the CMEC, K-12 schools, post-secondary education institutions and language schools are invited to consult the provincial lists of brand eligible institutions at www.extranet-educanada.ca.

Note that only institutions appearing on the provincial lists are eligible to participate in events (i.e. Canada-only fairs, Canada pavilions at third party fairs or other outreach events) organized and/or coordinated by Global Affairs Canada and/or its assigned service provider. If the institution is not on the list, it is not eligible to participate unless written consent is obtained from the province/territory where the institution is located. Questions on this issue should be directed to a.taiyeb@cmec.ca.

Private schools authorized to use the curriculum of a province/territory outside of Canada and Branch campuses are eligible to participate in the event but will be positioned separately (in a non-branded area).

Banks, airlines and insurance companies offering services to students may participate as sponsors and will be situated separately (in the non-branded area).

Participation by Education Agents or Consultants

Education agents or consultants cannot register for an education fair organized by Global Affairs Canada and/or its assigned service provider. Registration must be completed by a representative from a brand eligible institution. If a Canadian institution or school board designates an agent to participate on its behalf, it must advise Global Affairs Canada and/or its assigned service provider. The education agent must also provide a Mandate Letter from the institution demonstrating that it is authorized to act on its behalf. No promotional material from education agents, including but not limited to, business cards, flyers, brochures, swag or apparel shall be used, displayed or distributed at the booth/table or at the event. Promotional material will be limited to material supplied by the brand eligible institution.

Trade Commissioners responsible at local Canadian mission specializing in the education sector will organize Business-to-business meetings with local partners (i.e. local universities, high school counsellors, agents and other stakeholders) to help you complement and go beyond your recruitment strategies. The Trade Commissioners will help facilitate introductions for negotiations on business opportunities in this market. More information on the logistics of these B2Bs will be announced to you directly by the Trade Commissioners team. In case of questions, please write to education@international.gc.ca
